One people: Reunite Gaza and the West Bank

Draconian Israeli restrictions on Palestinian freedom of movement mean that for many families divided between the West Bank and Gaza, phone or online is their only contact: 'Your eyes can see but your hands can’t touch.'

Although there is a tendency among many Israelis to view Palestinians in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza as being distinct and separate groups, Palestinians themselves do not share this view and regard themselves as constituting a single nation.

and it has lasted for 47 long years in defiance of UN resolutions.. No
people should have to live under foreign occupation for so long and
without many freedoms we all take for granted..I always thought peace
would occur under Prime Minister Rabin but tragically he was murdered by
one of his own people and with his murder Israel lost the will for peace
and the Palestinians continue to pay the price.
